THE PROBLEM

Your team is spending thousands of hours on manual takeoffs.

You're losing time you could be spending on more bids.

You're swamped with bids and often have to sacrifice accuracy for speed.

Your estimators don't always have time to dig into the details.

SketchDeck is the steel takeoff software that does the manual work for you

- so you can complete more takeoffs, focus on the details, win more jobs, and grow your business.

See how it works:
The old way

Spend hours on manual takeoffs

Limited time for more bids stops you from winning more work.

Manual counting steel is time-consuming.

Missing steel on estimates can be a costly mistake.

Inconsistent workflows leave room for human error.

The new way

Automate your takeoffs with SketchDeck

Automated. SketchDeck quantifies main members in minutes not in hours.

Accurate. SketchDeck detects steel on most drawings with 95-99% accuracy.

Streamlined. SketchDeck makes your workflows fast, efficient, and consistent.

Scalable. SketchDeck allows you to complete more bids in less time.

What is SketchDeck.ai?

SketchDeck.ai builds SketchDeck (formerly LIFT), AI-powered material counting software that helps estimators at structural steel fabrication companies automate their steel takeoffs. SketchDeck extracts data from uploaded blueprints, enabling teams to complete projects faster and more accurately.

How does SketchDeck work?

SketchDeck uses AI technology to analyze uploaded blueprints and automatically count the materials needed for a project. It eliminates the need for manual counting, saving time and improving accuracy.

What happened to LIFT?

LIFT is now called SketchDeck. It is the same steel takeoff software from the same team; the product now carries the company name.

What are the benefits of using SketchDeck.ai?

By using SketchDeck.ai, estimators in structural steel fabrication companies can complete projects in minutes instead of days. Our software improves accuracy, reduces errors, and helps teams manage resources effectively.

Is SketchDeck.ai suitable for small teams?

Yes, SketchDeck.ai is designed to be scalable and can be used by both small and large estimator teams. Our software is flexible and can adapt to the needs of different companies.

How can I get started with SketchDeck.ai?

To get started with SketchDeck.ai, simply contact us through the form below. Our team will be happy to assist you and provide further information.

What can I expect on a demo?

During our demo, we will analyze one of your own project drawings and provide you with a free project in SketchDeck to see if it’s a good fit for your company.
